Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1617

Stella’s eyes turned red, as she witnessed Keegan being tortured. She wanted to rush over to him, but a man held her back. She looked at her partner who was drenched in blood, and her tears fell uncontrollably.

The man restraining Stella took in the tragic scene and felt somewhat uneasy.

He loosened his grip, allowing Stella to break free and shield Keegan.

Marshall’s previous attacker, who was an abuser, swung the bamboo stick toward Stella and hit her neck. The splinters from the stick pierced through her skin. Although Stella was crying out in pain, she held onto Keegan with fierce determination.

Bitch! How dare you stash that phone away!” The man’s eyes burned with anger. He tossed the stick aside, grabbed a shovel from the ground, and was ready to strike.

However, Stella did not care. She bent down and pressed her face to Keegan’s.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, as she heard his faint breaths.

Just as the shovel was about to strike her, someone kicked the abusive man away.

The driver, who had come back from the car, grimaced at the sight of the two. He grabbed the abuser and said in an icy tone, “Didn’t I warn you not to go too far? How dare you ignore my instructions?!” With that, the driver kicked the man in the stomach a few times. “You’re dead if I catch you losing it again!”

The man curled up in pain. He clutched onto his abdomen, and his sweat glistened on his forehead. It was clear that the driver did not hold back when he was kicking him.

Then, the driver approached the couple and crouched down.

He reached his hand out, and Stella instinctively flinched. The driver paused. He ripped the tape from her mouth and offered her a piece of bread.

Stella turned her head away.

“I suggest that you eat something. Butting heads with me won’t get you anywhere. Refuse to take this meal, and I might not be so accommodating next time. You won’t have the strength to walk out of here even if you manage to escape,” the driver warned sternly.

The driver’s lips tightened. He drew a dagger and released Stella from her bindings.

Stella looked at Keegan, who was covered in blood, and her legs went weak. At that point, she was crawling to his side. There were countless wounds beneath his blood-stained clothes. Stella shook at the sight of it all. She was too afraid to touch her partner.

“Keegan… Keegan…” she whispered his name and started to choke up.

Keegan blinked, signaling that he was still with her.

Stella’s heart pounded. She held back her tears and softly said, “Bear with me while I tend to your wounds.”

Keegan blinked again in response. horrifying wound beneath.
